Welcome Event for our new space featuring resident artist
RIE NAKAJIMA presenting two sound installations

Come enjoy the view, drink some wine or beer, and meet Rie Nakajima, who will present a "work in progress" sound installation.

Rie Nakajima is a japanese artist based in London, working with installations and performances that produce sound.  Her works are most often composed in direct response to unique architectural spaces using a combination of audio materials and found objects. In the residency, by using the gallery environment, she develops her current research on the space materialization with sound.

Made possible in part with support from Arts Council England.

Science Gallery Dublin and The Biomuse Trio present:

Music for Sleeping & Waking Minds
By Gascia Ouzounian with R. Benjamin Knapp and Eric Lyon

An ensemble of performers who wear specially designed brainwave monitors generate music with their minds as they rest, sleep, and awaken over the course of one night. Music for Sleeping & Waking Minds explores the ways in which communication occurs within different states of attention (meditative, sleeping, alert states, etc.), and how the perception of sound changes within these states. Audiences are invited to listen or sleep as they wish during this event.

We are happy to invite you to _ Made Space, the results of the first time running 5-day intensive workshop in Modular Collaboration. The six participants are working together to create individual sound works under an overall theme that will culminate in the live performance this Friday, in which all the works are presented simultaneously as part of a larger piece utilizing the full capacity of Diapason’s special multi-channel sound systems. Starting from thinking about the differences between places and spaces participants are working on digital color space, text as a place, the narrow border between stable and unstable conditions, re-spatialization, speech synthesis, and on transient extraction as a form of de-/re-contextualizing.*

Performance
VCW Performance
Chris Burke, Courtney Brown, Brian Edgerton, Matthias Neumann

The VCW Performance is a show of live video pieces created as part of the Video Composition Workshop.

The Video Composition Workshop is dedicated to writing performative video pieces. It explores how artists approach their compositions and how they notate the scores from which the videoists perform.

This show presents completed compositions and works-in-progress of four videoists and musicians resulting from this summer's six-week workshop. The video pieces incorporate human breath control, Xbox, language as controller, and physical architecture. The evening will end with the VCW composers discussing their printed scores and compositional approaches.

Compositions by:

Courtney Brown (with performers Gennette Gill, Jacqueline Arias)
Chris Burke (with collaborator Tamara Yadao)
Brian Edgerton (with performers Glenda Reed, Jason Orrell)

June 9, 8pm
« 07062010 » a multichannel diffusion by Valerio Tricoli, Gilles Aubry and Antoine Chessex

These three experienced european sound artists and composers will present a unique piece of experimental music specifically created for the Diapason Gallery.
Using the multichannel sound specificity of the Gallery, the piece will consist of a  an hour-long diffusion of dreamy soundscapes interacting with the architecture of the space.
Fragments of Chessex’s recent compositional works for ensembles will be transformed by Tricoli’s unique approach to electronic textural works and Aubry’s poetic artistry towards field recordings.
The piece will evoke an immersive and psychoacoustic path into abstraction, defining the meeting point between the different approaches of these three sound artists and offering to the audience a mysterious journey between the narrative, immersive and phonographic dimensions of the auditory perceptions.

“All that was once directly lived has become mere representation,” G.D.
